Unemployment benefits-failure to comply with local law-2.

Wyoming's SF 1018 amends unemployment benefits law to allow workers who voluntarily leave jobs due to employer non-compliance with local COVID-19 prevention measures to qualify for benefits. This directly affects employees who quit because their employer failed to follow health orders from state or local officials, including requirements like vaccinations or safety protocols during the pandemic. The bill creates a new exception (subparagraph E) in the eligibility rules, overriding standard disqualifications for "voluntary quit" without "good cause." It applies specifically to public health orders issued under Wyoming law in response to COVID-19 and takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
